Dieldrin

Explanation:

Dieldrin is an example of organochloride compound which is derived from aldrin. When aldrin undergoes more chemical reaction, it creates the widely known compound called dieldrin which is the pesticide used to control insects.

Therefore, if we consider the 2005 report from the Environmental Protection Agency, the levels of dieldrin are low/undetectable in the US population, which shows the progress in the control of toxic chemicals in US.
